DefiLlama has logged 310 exploits in 2026 so far, about $2.4B in total funds lost from, and the same thing keeps repeating:
Users held their own keys and somehow still ended up getting hacked.
So holding your keys is only one part of self-custody, the rest is:
• who holds a key to the contract
• how your key was generated
• and whether anything can move your money without your signature.
On @grvt_io, a clever path was designed - email wallets.
This wallet is powered by @privy_io and Grvt says its key is created inside secure hardware and split into pieces, so no single party holds the entire key, not even Grvt or Privy, and that you can export the key to another wallet whenever you want.
When you use any of Grvt's yield/earn protocols, your deposit goes into a smart contract on Ethereum, orders are matched off-chain, and the trades are settled in batches with zero knowledge proofs that Ethereum verifies, and a withdrawal needs your signature and can only go to addresses you've already approved.
I'm against protocols preaching self custody and at the end of the day, users suffer when the protocols suffer.
Look at Celsius, their terms gave them ownership of Earn deposits and users became creditors when it failed.
Smart contracts carry their own risk, so the point is to know where your funds sit and who can touch them.
That's also why I like Grvt Earn:
your funds stay in your control, and Grvt targets up to 11% on eligible balances (a target, not a promise, and the higher tiers carry credit risk). https://t.co/8Wm47SWUdc

GIWA had people talking at KBW.
it's an L2 backed by Dunamu, the $11B company behind Upbit.
yet outside Korean CT, barely anyone seems to be watching.
i spent the weekend digging through the ecosystem and mapped 150+ projects worth watching.

i’m big on outcome markets.
after mapping 30+ prediction markets, i found one with a unique moat.
others build prediction as the product, @PRDCTR_IO provides the machinery they build on.
before anyone can tap YES or NO, a system has to:
define the question, match orders, calculate liquidity, resolve the outcome, handle disputes (if any), before ever settling the market.
if any one of those layers fails, a clean ux wouldn't matter by then.
prediction rails like the ones Prdctr is building matter enough that @Nasdaq calls the matching engine the core of any exchange. Its market technology is used by more than 130 market infrastructure operators, so that line carries weight.
so what does the infrastructure provide?
1. market creation
2. order handling and liquidity mechanisms
3. positions recordings
4. outcome reporting
5. settlement and redemption
6. bridging for $PRD/USDC/USDT
7. validation and node operations
8. transactions data and analytics
and what kind of business requires these services?
1. market operators → prediction markets, sports companies, fintechs, DEXes/CEXes, AI agents.
2. developers → apps, wallets, data tools.
3. node/validator services
PRDCTR is early, and not yet a widely adopted plug n' play service for every company but the important caveat is that infrastructure is what decides whether a market actually works.
➥ this is my entry for Kite's Muse contest.
i used Grok @bot.
if you ask me, this experiment goes deeper than image generation.
KiteAI is more likely testing how agents can make x402 transactions on a user's behalf and all you have to do is approve.

WEB3 WAS SUPPOSED TO FREED OMONEY. HIGH DEX FEES CHOKED IT
Most DEX protocols bleed your capital on gas, fees, and hidden slippage before you even close a position. Nullfee was born to burn that system down. We aren't building just another swap button — we are engineering a zero-fee infrastructure that gives total financial control back to the user.
•••
WHERE WE STAND RIGHT NOW:
Scaling Beyond DEX Boundaries: Expanding into a hybrid CEX/DEX ecosystem built for high-frequency performance.
True Frictionless Trading: Zero-fee routing across 10+ major chains (Ethereum, Solana, BNB, Bitcoin, TON).
Ecosystem Capital Reserve: Preparing the structural base for $NONE as the central utility backbone.
We don't sell empty promises. We build, test, and scale every single day.
Position yourself early before TGE:
